Gulfstream Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Optional Claiming
STRIKE (5) Solid effort when finishing 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last run at this venue and putting a tidy record together. Expecting to settle positively. Strong claims. EYEWAY (6) Improved when 4th last run at this venue. Won't be far away during the run. Winning prospect. ALESSMAN (4) Was overpowered late when 3rd last time at this track and having second race start. Will be pushing for a forward position early. In the mix. TOO TALL BLAKE (7) Ran 4th last run at this venue but having second race start. The large claim from Pedro Pena helps and stepping up in distance. Looks a good chance of finishing in the money.

Started at $28.00 and improved late to finish 5th last run at Colonial Downs and fitter for debut run. Likely to get back. Racing over more ground. Drawn the rails. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

Jumped at $5.50 and finished 4th last run here but gets a favourable draw. Jockey J G Torrealba and trainer Patrick L Biancone form a proven partnership. Can't recommend.

Jumped at $5.50 and folded up in the straight when 5th last time at the track. Should muster plenty of early toe. Others are better.

Faded in the late stages of the race when 3rd last time at this track and was on debut last time. Should muster plenty of early speed. Solid prospects.

Rattled home nicely into 2nd last run around here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should be going forward early. Racing consistently this campaign. Very capable of taking this out.

Odds of $7.00 and ran on into 4th last run at this venue. Shows good early pace. Should give this a shake.
